A study conducted by researchers at Abo Akademi University in Turku, Finland, explored the use of biocompatible glass S59 in the fabrication of tissue-engineering scaffolds. The researchers found that the scaffolds made from S59 were osteoconductive and allowed bone growth, but they dissolved over time, resulting in a loss of structure and strength. However, the relatively rapid and stable dissolution of the scaffolds suggests that S59 glass may have potential for use in composite implants that provide initial strength and predictable release of ions. Further research is needed to explore this potential. [Extracted from the article] |
